One of my favorite memories of my Grandma was when the bulb and seed catalogs started arriving in the mail about this time of year. She and I would sit side-by-side on her couch and think about what we wanted to plant in our gardens in the Spring. We would debate the merits of tulips vs daffodils and talk about color combinations and blooming times. I will always remember her spending Spring & Summer out in her flower beds sharing starts of her plants with strangers who stopped when driving by to admire the wonderful variety of colors.
When I saw these Creative Scrap Garden images from Crafty Secrets they brought back those memories. I combined them with this week's Sketch for You to Try and a sentiment (I think it might be Starving Artistamps, but it's unmounted with no label, so I'm not sure).
The crackled paper is also from Crafty Secrets Radiant Paper Pad combined with a strip of paper from DCWV and Eggplant cardstock.
Bring on the Spring (she says as we're forecasted for 4 inches of snow overnight on top of the piles already on the ground).
This is beautiful! I sure wish someone sold Crafty Secrets locally!
Thank you so much for your kind words on my blog! I have been stalking your blog and not saying anything, I guess it`s time I speak up! lol
